The Waking Lyrics

Watch me fade away

I know you know I know that it's okay

I'll do it anyway

Even if it meant our decay

My distant place lies in peaceful places like

Between the lines of your timeline and mine

When I sleep, and I dream, in my dream, it's serene,

I believe that it's all better there

I'm in deep, cannot scream, unforeseen-ly filled with obscenity,

It's still better there

And in stride, I confide in my mind-made images horrified,

It's still better there

And to find, suicide as a consort comfort magnified,

I feel better there

I get lost--I, & at what cost, I--

Hey, wake up all the way. Let the sun in your eyes

Petrified--I, & I can't speak, I--

Hey, just don't fade away--what's on your mind?

I feel lost--I, am exhausted, I--

Hey, wake up all the way. Let the sun in your eyes

Mortified--I, feel accosted, I--

Hey, just don't fade away. Wake up all the way
